Eric Gordon received a pass from Russell Westbrook and knocked down a 3-point field goal attempt midway through the third quarter. Gordon’s 3-point basket put the Rockets up by seven, and ignited a 15-4 run, as the Rockets recorded their fourth straight victory at the expense of the New Orleans Pelicans in a 122-116 win, Monday night, inside the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
Houston held a 10 point advantage before JJ Redick scored an And-1 behind the arc, as New Orleans cut the Rockets lead down to four with 7:15 remaining in the game.
